Dear Tim, Thanks for your response re the uses of AI in understanding (and sometimes producing or repairing) code. I recently came across this paragraph on Robert Melton's website [1], which nicely summarizes my feeling about how AI has changed my workflow, and echoes what I've seen others (including emacspeak users like our own Devin Prater [2]) say about it as well: > AI is a game-changer for accessibility. Problems that were always too niche to prioritize - too far down the totem pole - can now get solved. I can build tools for my specific needs in hours instead of months. The long tail of accessibility finally has a path forward. And thanks for your notes about linux. I've been trying out GNOME on debian, nice to see how emacspeak feels (and sounds) in its native habitat, but I also appreciate what you say about how accessibility on linux is generally a bit more brittle and confusing than on the big corporate platforms. I might end up being one of these guys with three mini pcs on my desk, bouncing between the three major OSes to test out various tools... or maybe I'll pick up another hobby to satisfy my mid-life crisis, hehe. Thanks again for your response. Warmly, Andrew [1] https://robertmelton.com/about/ [2] https://tweesecake.social/@pixelate/116041646303226625
